CANOEING TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

• Scenic view of the mountains surrounding the river and the crystal clear water you are paddling in. • Many fun grade 2 rapids and many other grade 1 rapids. • Palmafossen – 15m high waterfall on the Raundal River. • Fish Ladders are one of the most commonly used methods to grow the fish population in Norway. These ‘Ladders’ help by allowing the fish to access larger areas of the river upstream which they otherwise could not access due to large obstacles in the river that they can’t swim up – e.g. waterfalls. By helping the fish to come up such previously impassable obstacles, it gives them more space to breed and feed.
• Fish Ladders have great significance for the maintenance of biodiversity and productivity. In the current situation with many endangered stocks of salmon and freshwater fish, this is particularly important.
